As Lawrence O'Donnell Said, the Teabaggers Are Protesting BUSH'S Tax Rates!
Edited on Wed Apr-15-09 12:50 PM by stopbush
As he said, there are no "Obama taxes." He hasn't been in office long enough to levy any new income taxes, though he has already put TAX CUTS in place.

1. As Paul Krugman said,
"This is just embarrassing."

Poor folks don't have a clue.

This is what happens when your main news source is Fox. A kind of brain rot that really isn't pretty ..........................

2. That's the puzzling thing here...
What are they protesting? The tax cuts they have already received? If that's the case, they can always give the money back! They would at least then have something to cry about.

9. They are really protesting the fact that they lost their honkey asses in Nov.
Simple as that. They just do not get the fact that people who agree with them are a teeny tiny part of America. And getting smaller all the time.

11. That's how I see it too...
It's a pity party. A small, nasty group of very loud idiots. I hope you're right about the "getting smaller" bit. I've seen several people come into the light, and I hope it's a lot more common than I know.

3. They seem to be complaining now about massive spending, gov't takeover of their lives, less freedom.
I don't get it as, aside from the massive spending in the bailouts, none of the rest is happening. Those last two happened under Bush.

4. they dont get it. We are reaping the benefits of 8 years of bush
and these idiots feign poutrage about 80 days of Obama.



Like Ed Schultz said, "the only people who have had their taxes raised this year are smokers"

8. Lawrence O'Donnell was great excellent explaining how completely stupid & misinformed thees fucking
Edited on Wed Apr-15-09 01:16 PM by GreenTea
sheep who are protesting taxes on the rich...as well O'Donnell relating the truth of all the bailouts, which of course were started and approved by the last administration BushCo....These "teabager" people are so fucking stupid, do not have a clue...they just follow because of their hate and belief the republicans corporate fucks are trying to help them....

This is so unbelievable to me how outright sheep these people are protesting for the rich and the 3% tax increase on the wealthiest & the corporations, Obama's 3% tax increase is far, far below what Reagan taxes on the rich were....these people are such fools...it's really not funny to see how stupid and easily manipulated they are by the republicans and their corporate media, Fox, talk radio, republican politicians & republican blogs.

Lawrence O'Donnell was brilliant Monday night on Countdown as stupefied and blown away as I am....yet put it all together perfectly in perspective Monday might....I do hope Lawrence O'Donnell get that ten o'clock time slot on MSNBC!!

14. But the sheep won't hear O'Donnell because he's not on Fox sNews.
Edited on Wed Apr-15-09 02:04 PM by SammyWinstonJack

10. If they had protested while Shrub was in office
I would have a whole lot more respect for them. But only starting to protest now demonstrates it's not about the principal but about the Party.
